Advice to leaseholders of houses on their ability to extend their residential lease, or buy their freehold

Advice to freeholders on applications from leaseholders to extend their leases and enfranchise on flats and houses

Valuation of the leasehold and freehold interests

Liaising with solicitors in respect of the service of notices and counter-notices

In the event of dispute, preparation of evidence and attendance at the First Tier Tribunal and above on behalf of both freeholders and leaseholders

Management implications of the legislation and tactics to be employed in pursuit or defence of the claim

Strettons is listed on the LEASE website - a government-sponsored leasehold advisory service - as a firm of valuers who regularly deal with leasehold enfranchisement work. We can act as advocates at the First Tier Tribunal where it is not cost effective to employ legal representation, as well as giving expert evidence.

The department is lead by Geneviève Mariner, a Valuer Member of the Board of LEASE.
